There are a number of instruments aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. The primary telescope does collect light in the visible spectrum.

The Hubble Space Telescope obtains higher-resolution images than most ground-based telescopes because it is?
Only because it gets no atmospheric interference, which most of the ground based telescopes do.
Is visible light same as ultraviolet light?
No. Simple test: Can you see ultraviolet light ? No you cannot. Therefore it falls under the category of "not visible light".
Does a prism separate light into only the visible spectrum or the entire spectrum?
Well, seeing as it seperates visible light, it follows that it only seperates that visible light into the visible spectrum. You can't make radiowaves or UV rays out of visible light.
Does electromagnetic radiation include only visible light?
No, electromagnetic radiation does not include only visible light.
What are not detected by telescopes Radio waves sound waves X rays Visible light?
"Sound waves" is the only item on that list that is not a form of electromagnetic radiation, so no form of 'telescope' works for sound.
Why telescopes on earth only analyze radio ultraviolent and visible light waves?
to see
How do optical radio telescopes operate?
As far as I know, there is no "optical radio telescope". There are, separately, optical telescopes (which work with visible light), and radio telescopes (which work with radio waves).
What makes The Hubble Space Telescope different from other telescopes?
The main difference between Hubble Space Telescopes and other telescopes is the fact that the Hubble is placed in outer space where it can observe without the distortion of the Earth's atmosphere.
What is the difference between modern telescopes and galileo's telescope?
Galileo's telescope is what is called a refractory visible light telescope. It takes visible light and uses lenses to condense a lot of light down to what will fit into your eye. It was very rudimentary and could not see very much detail. Today, there are still refractory visible light telescopes. In fact, these are used by amateur astronomers to capture excellent pictures of the universe around us. They are limited in their aperture however (the size of the opening pointed toward the stars). There are many other kinds of telescopes now also. Reflecting telescopes can be much bigger. Currently, the largest are the Keck telescopes in Hawaii where there are two that have an aperture of 10 meters, where as Galileo's was only 10-25 mm. Besides visible light, we now use telescopes to see all the wavelengths of light, from radio waves through microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma rays.
What Layers of the Sun can be seen with some type of telescope?
DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITH A CONVENTIONAL TELESCOPE. Doing so can cause massive eye damage and blindness. Theoretically only the photosphere would be visible anyway.Scientists can use special telescopes (such as ultraviolet telescopes) to see other parts of the sun (such as the corona).
How are telescopes used?
Telescopes are made to view distant objects that cannot be seen clearly with the human eye. Many telescopes only collect light that is visible to the human eye, but others can collect different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation including x-rays, ultraviolet, and infrared.
What is the observable parts in the milky way in terms of light years?
Most to all of the milky way is visible through sattelite telescopes as well as other galaxies, but only our local spiral arm is visible from here.
Can the Hubble Telescope be seen through amateur telescopes?
Yes, if you know just where to look. You can see it with the naked eye. Go to spaceweather.com and click the "Satellite Flybys" link. Enter your ZIP code (in the USA) or enter your location to see a list of the visible objects. Low-altitude satellites are visible only when the Sun has set at your location, but the satellite is still in the light; that is, shortly after sunset or before sunrise.
What is the main advantage of the hubble space telescopes location?
Hubble being in space does not have a problem of seeing which is caused by atmospheric blurring and thus can observe light at more wavelengths. Its only limitation is by diffraction in its optics
Which type of rays are visible?
visible light is the only VISIBLE light.
The Hubble Space Telescope obtains higher-resolution images than most ground-based telescopes because it is?
Only because it gets no atmospheric interference, which most of the ground based telescopes do.
Is using visible light the only way of seeing what is out in space?
No. We can also see into space using infrared and radio wave telescopes, space probes and of course visits by humans.
